Shueisha has revealed that they will be printing a manga adaptation of the late Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth’s webseries RWBY in their Ultra Jump magazine. This news comes prior to a formal announcement in the November issue coming on Monday. The adaptation will be drawn by Shirow Miwa, also known for creating Dogs: Prelude, and will debut in the December issue that releases on November 19. The first chapter will have color back and center pages, and the series will be part of a special 20th anniversary project for the magazine. The issue will also be bundled with a mini clear file containing art from the new manga series.

This news is in addition to Warner Bros. Japan announcing its licensing of the series for release in Japan with a Japanese language dub that came this summer. The series will be shown in six Japanese theaters starting on November 14, with a “theater limited edition Blu-ray” releasing on the same day. The regular DVD and Blu-ray will release in Japan on December 9, and the OST will ship on November 11. The dub cast is as follows:

Chris is a computer science student who has been gaming ever since he knew what to do with a Super Nintendo controller. He's a fighting game player, with a focus on BlazBlue and Under Night In-Birth games. His favourite games include Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Persona 5, and Little Busters. He started watching anime in high school, and his favourite series is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. He also writes Vocaloid music for his personal YouTube channel, and has a (slight) obsession with Megurine Luka.
